Boy Azooga, the shape-shifting act led by Davey Newington have announced details of the release of their debut album, 1,2 Kung Fu!, on Heavenly Recordings on Friday 8th June 2018.

Announcing themselves to the world with the Onyeabor-inspired ‘Face Behind Her Cigarette’ in early November last year, the band have recently shared the video to the latest track to be lifted from the album, ‘Loner Boogie’ watch it here:

A kaleidoscopic, hallucinatory rush, the video was directed by Cardiff film-maker Toby Cameron (http://onparproductions.co.uk) who also worked on Face Behind Her Cigarette.

Talking about the video, Davey said:

It’s a scary world out there these days, sometimes you don’t want to go outside. Sometimes you get the Loner Boogie. Follow us into the Cardiff Transport Club for some fish-eye Kung Fu and a Guiness with the legendary Kliph Scurlock. Not sure he’s that into it to be honest though.

The track-listing of the 11-track album, co-produced by the band & Eddie El Shakarchie aka Dr Ed Boogie and recorded in part in Eddie’s front room in Cardiff, is as follows:

They take their loose-limbed live show on the road later this year and the dates include their own headline shows, support slots with The Magic Gang & Rolling Blackouts and Coastal Fever and an appearance at this year’s Heavenly Weekender at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge.
